Abstract: An assisting apparatus for using power from a rotating member 290 to assist the operation of a bicycle transmission includes a mounting unit; a input transmission member coupled to the mounting unit, wherein the input transmission member moves to at least a neutral position, to an upshift position and to a downshift position; and an output transmission member coupled to the mounting unit, wherein the output transmission member moves to at least a first output position and a second output position. A rotating member engaging member 394 moves between a rotating member engaging position and a rotating member disengaging position, and a motion transmitting mechanism transmits motion form the rotating member engaging member 394 to the output transmission member. A switching mechanism moves the rotating member engaging member 394 to the rotating member engaging position when the input transmission member is in a least one of the upshift position and the downshift position. 
     A power saving apparatus is provided for the assisting apparatus that uses power from a rotating member 290 to assist the operation of the bicycle transmission. The power saving apparatus comprises the rotating member engaging member 394 that moves between a rotating member engaging position and a rotating member disengaging position, a setting mechanism 407' that sets the rotating member engaging member 394 toward the rotating member engaging position, and a power saving unit 1300. The power saving unit 1300 saves power communicated between the setting mechanism 407' and the rotating member engaging member 394 when the setting mechanism 407' attempts to move the rotating member engaging member 394 into the rotating member engaging position and the rotating member engaging member encounters a force that resists the rotating member engaging member 394 being in the rotating member engaging position.

Abstract: In a steering angle detection device for an electric power steering apparatus, a
steering wheel shaft rotation angle is derived by calculating a rotation angle signal
which corresponds to a rotation angle of a steering wheel shaft (2) within a single
rotation, based upon detection signals of first and second resolvers (14,15) which detect the
rotation angle of the steering wheel shaft and which have different pole pair numbers.
A third resolver (26) detects, as a motor rotation angle, a rotation angle of an output shaft
of an electric motor (21) that imparts assistance force to an output member of a steering
gear having a reduction ratio that varies in accordance with a steering angle of the
steering wheel (1) from a straight ahead position. A first derivative and a second
derivative of the motor rotation angle with respect to the steering wheel shaft rotation
angle are calculated, and a rotational direction and a rotation number of the steering
wheel shaft from a neutral position are obtained based on the first derivative and a
positive-negative sign of the second derivative. A steering angle of the steering wheel
is then obtained from the rotation direction and the rotation number of the steering
wheel shaft from the neutral position, and the steering wheel shaft rotation angle.

Abstract: In order to measure a sound characteristic in a sound space (260), measurement sound is outputted to the sound space. Measurement sound data of a predetermined time period, which is prepared in advance, is divided into plural block periods (T), and plural block sound data (pn) are generated. A reproduction process of reproducing the plural block sound data in the order forming the measurement sound data is executed plural times by shifting the block sound data (pn) reproduced first by one for each time. Thereby, the measurement sound is outputted. When the above reproduction process is executed plural times, detected sound data (md) corresponding to the block sound data (pn) reproduced at the identical reproduction order for each time are operated, and a sound characteristic is determined. Thereby, it becomes possible to measure the sound characteristic in the period shorter than the measurement sound data of the predetermined time period.

Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: Undoped layers (280,285) are introduced in the passive waveguide section (298) of a butt-joined passive waveguide connected to an active structure. This reduces the parasitic capacitance of the structure. 
The undoped passive Q-waveguide (290) is typically grown using MOCVD along with undoped InP layer (280) and undoped InP layer (285) so that passive Q-waveguide (290) is sandwiched between undoped InP cladding layer (280) and undoped InP cladding layer (285). 
The use of undoped InP layer (280) and undoped InP layer (285) increases the depletion region thickness and the application of a reverse bias, typically about -0.5 to -3 volts, results in reduced parasitic capacitance. Depending on the size of parasitic capacitance that is acceptable for a given application, the thickness of undoped InP layers (280) and (285) may be suitably adjusted.
